Centre National de la Musique Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how musicians, producers, and labels in France can access subsidies for album production, touring, and international music export.

This scheme provides financial support to professionals within the music industry to help fund various stages of musical development and distribution.

Who it's for

This support is designed for musicians, producers, and record labels working on specific musical projects.

What you get

You can receive subsidies to help cover the costs of creating an album, organizing musical tours, or helping music reach international markets through export initiatives.

What it costs you

Applying for these funds requires a significant investment of time. You will need to provide extensive documentation and present a clear, detailed business plan for your specific project.

How to apply

  1. Determine if your project qualifies under the specific categories of creation, touring, or export.
  2. Ensure your professional business structure is legally established.
